Blacksburg, VA — The Virginia Tech Hokies have secured a major addition to their basketball roster with the commitment of 6-foot-11 forward/center Solomon Davis, a dynamic athlete whose blend of size, skill, and agility has earned him the nickname “Flying Machine.” With Davis onboard, the Hokies are not just adding a player — they’re elevating their program to new heights.
Known for his shot-blocking prowess, above-the-rim finishes, and floor-stretching range, Davis has been turning heads on the national prep circuit. His decision to join Virginia Tech sent waves of excitement through Hokie Nation, with fans and analysts alike praising the program’s ability to attract elite frontcourt talent. “The Hokies just landed a towering talent ready to elevate the game,” one scout noted. “Solomon has all the tools to be a game-changer in the ACC.”
Davis, often described as a “gentle giant,” carries himself with humility off the court but unleashes a fierce competitive spirit once the game begins. His combination of length, mobility, and basketball IQ gives him the potential to be a two-way force at the college level. Whether it’s finishing lobs, swatting shots into the third row, or spacing the floor with a soft shooting touch, Davis is expected to contribute immediately for the Hokies.
“I felt the energy, the family vibe, and the vision the coaching staff had for me,” Davis said in his commitment announcement. “I’m proud to be a Hokie and I’m ready to soar.”
With Solomon Davis joining the ranks, Virginia Tech’s future is looking brighter — and taller. Hokie fans can look forward to high-flying dunks, rim protection, and a big man with dreams of greatness. One thing is certain: the Hokies didn’t just recruit height — they recruited heart, hustle, and high hopes.
